Gas x strips did not work for me. The gas x chewable worked very well along with Tums!

3 days post op' date=' on liquids and not hungry at all. My stomach churns a lot but I think it's cos of the gas. I cant burp very well so it feels like there is a lot if gas to cone up.

I have a sharp pain on the left shoulder and also my left side ribs and it hurts when I breathe. Did anyone else feel like this??

What's the best thing to do??

I'm meant to be going back to work in 3 days.

I did and my shoulder pain lasted for two weeks. I tried everything. Just hang in there and remember, it is temporary.

So bloated my work pants don't fit even though I've lost 5kg.

Day 6 post op still very bloated and gassy but back at work.

I have been walking heaps, (Average of 2-3km walking per day) and taking de-gas.

That was the worst part of the whole surgery was the "gas" that would not leave. It was painful to even have my seatbelt on when my husband took me for my first week check up. It is all downhill from there. It will eventually come out and after 4 years it is still coming out of that end. Just think how great you will feel when it is 4 months from now and you can fit into smaller clothes. Be patient.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
